Two large fishes, Sahasrabuddhi and Satabuddhi lived in a big pond and were close friends with a frog called Ekabuddhi. They spent a lot of time together on the bank of the pond.
One evening, as they were assembled on the bank of the pond, they saw a few fishermen approaching. They had nets and big baskets with them, which were full of fishes that they had caught.
While passing by the pond, they noticed that the pond was full of fishes. One of them said to the others, "Let us come here tomorrow morning. This pond is not very deep and is full of fishes. We have never caught fishes in this pond."
They agreed to return the very next morning and continued their journey homewards.
The frog quickly came to warn his friends. He said, "Fishes! I have heard that the fishermen will return tomorrow morning. Its time to hide or run as we may not be saved otherwise."
The fishes were overconfident. The first fish said, "Don't worry my friend frog. They will not come. Even if they come I have a lot of tricks which I can do in the water and save myself."
Suddenly the second fish also jumped smiling and said, "Yes frog! Don't you worry these fishermen never come again? They just talk. Our whole family lives here. We will never abandon this place."
The very next morning, the fishermen came and cast their nets all over the pond. They had a big haul and caught many fishes, frogs, tortoises, and crabs.
Sahasrabuddhi and Satabuddhi tried hard to escape, but none of their tricks worked. They were caught, and when the fishermen dragged their net on the bank of the pond they were already dead.
Being the largest of the fishes the fishermen caught, they proudly displayed Sahasrabuddhi and Satabuddhi and carried them separately as they started homewards.
Meanwhile, the frog, Ekabuddhi, had already found a well for shelter. Being worried and anxious, he came to the surface. But as he saw the fishermen departing with his friends, he became sad.
He told his wife, "They were very talented, but lacked the only talent that was most important. As for me, I may have only one talent, but I swim happily with my family!"

Moral:-
Dear Friends!!
"It's good to have talents but we should always be cautious about the situation. Be confident but not overconfident."
